After his mother's death KK (Kai Koss) returns to his home town to settle her affairs. He has been away for 19 years trying to escape and forget about his mother's cruel treatment of him. He soon realizes that you can't outrun your past.

When Kai arrives home he is greeted by the undertaker as he stops on the side of a local road. Kai and the undertaker go to the funeral home where his mother is. The undertaker explains apologetically that Kai's mother was left at room temperature for a few days but that he did the best he could. Kai explains that "we want her to burn". The undertaker suggests a simple casket to do this in and offers to leave Kai alone with his mother's body. Kai approaches his mother's body reluctantly and waves his hand over her face, puts his ear to her mouth and finally breaks one of her fingers to insure that she is dead.
